Drive-By Truckers Band • Page 5

one of the best ramones songs and they do a great job

 

so maybe I'm wrong, but I think this will be the first time Isbell and DBT have been scheduled to appear on the same stage back-to-back. certainly first time in awhile at the least. I'm already seeing DBT the day before they play the festival and have tickets to see Isbell in Nov...but think I might have to make the drive down for Sunday of this, too good to pass up. even if it's just one song would be awesome to see Isbell/Hood/Cooley all on the same stage

 

man i really want to make that drive

 

if this happens...

 

I mean Isbell has sat in here and there with DBT before but never sang I think? Except for the acoustic show for charity of course

Look there's not gonna be a full on ""reunion"" bc there doesn't need to be, Jason is his own artist now. But if we get even one song and I'm not there to see it imma be pissed haha

And even without that, DBT/Isbell back to back is god tier

 

they’re gonna play danko/manuel i’ll bet my bottom dollar

 

Would seriously consider flying across the country if I knew they would play songs together. Hell, might do it anyway.

 

This is a niche desire haha but my dream tier reunion song would honestly not even be one of the Jason ones. I wanna hear him play on "Where the Devil Don't Stay" or something like that because neither Neff nor Gonzalez have really nailed that slide riff in the years since Isbell left

 

Also Centro-Matic being on the bill is pretty damn cool. I'm sure Jason is very stoked to have talked them into getting back together for the fest, seeing as he wrote a wholeass song about them ("To a Band I Loved")

 

You all may already know this but that 2014 acoustic show for charity just got put up on Spotify. Haven't had a chance to listen yet.

 

Live recording of a 2006 show was recently posted to Spotify. Fucking rips.

 

truest words ever posted on this website. finally got a chance to listen today

 

wild to find out that the guy who produced all their albums since southern rock opera played bass in fucking Sugar

 

Barbe was in Sugar?? As in the band with Bob Mould lol???

 

yes lol. wild.

 

Twenty years old today.

 

good album

 

Man. As the years go by, as much as SRO/DD/TDS mean so much to me...I'm really starting to think American Band is their best record

 

it’s really really good. for some reason i have a personal attachment to english oceans, though that’s probably towards the middle of their discography if i’m trying to be somewhat objective

 

Might shed a tear seeing Hood/Cooley/Isbell on the same stage today ngl

 

He played on Heathens and then sang John Henry. Think I scared my wife with how much I freaked out when they ripped into John Henry haha

 

Pictured (right to left): father, son, holy ghost, Jay Gonzalez

 

Apparently he came out for Heathens/John Henry again tonight at the Ryman!

 

I haven’t listened to much DBT although I’ve really liked what I’ve heard (mostly their earlier stuff). Seeing them with a friend on Monday, what are the essentials?
